Your spiritual walking journey commences at the Sita Rham Dham temple. From this uplifting site, proceed to Shri Trayambakeshwar, one of the most notable landmarks in the city and a vital temple dedicated to Shiva. Here, an expert guide will introduce you to the rich context and philosophies of Hinduism, encouraging reflection on your own spiritual exploration as you discover more sacred spots in this revered Himalayan destination.
As you continue your walk beside the Ganges, you will reach the Lakshman Jhula hanging bridge, offering breathtaking views of the cascading tiers of the Trayambakeshwar temple.
